Of 124 cats examined in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, 7 were infected in the middle ear with M. auris. This is the first record of this genus from indigenous animals in Japan. One to 8 pairs of worms were found/ear. None of 111 cats caught in Osaka Prefecture and elsewhere was infected. The worms are described and figured.
